living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 196
The sky in the east turned white, and it was already dawn. Mu Lan was lying on the bed in the guest room, looking at the curtains that were gradually illuminated by the light.

She stayed up almost all night, releasing detection spells from time to time to sense the surrounding environment, she wondered if those townspeople would appear again.

Lin Yiyi was talking in her sleep. She slept tossing and turning that night. It seemed that the quality of her sleep was not good. Ah Feng had the same idea as Mu Lan. He also wanted to find out the truth about the disappearance of the townspeople, but he didn't have any mental power spells. It can be used, but it can only wander around in the town, and has not returned until now, it should have been stalked all night.

She almost couldn't sleep well after coming to this dungeon. Mu Lan rubbed her dry eyes. She knew she had dark circles without even looking in the mirror.

From the technique, she could perceive that these townspeople still did not appear. Mu Lan took out the toiletries in her personal space. After washing her face, she still had an important task, which was to visit Leon's family, the family that entrusted Dr. Bourne to make a visit.

When he opened the door, he saw Professor Leonard walking out of the room in a daze. He gasped and looked at Mu Lan suspiciously.

"Why does my head hurt so much? What happened yesterday?"

Unexpectedly, Ah Feng's attack was so heavy that it made him fall into a coma all night, which was comparable to the effect of sleeping pills.

Mu Lan smiled and said, "Professor, don't you remember what happened last night?"

"Last night?" Professor Leonard rubbed his swollen neck, his expression lost in thought. After a moment, he slowly said:

"It seems to have a vague memory"

"I want to study that church. Their architectural style is very special. It is not Eastern Orthodoxy, nor is it our British Anglican Church. I think it has something to do with the mysterious religion of those cultists, and then..."

Leonard hesitated for a moment and said doubtfully: "I can't remember what happened next."

"Professor." Mu Lan reminded, "I know you secretly brought the tiara, but that thing is evil, please don't touch it again."

Professor Leonard immediately panicked: "You, how do you know?"

Mu Lan did not explain to him, but continued to warn: "People who touch the crown will fall into an inexplicable state of insanity, will see something that has never been seen before, and may lose their minds and turn into those fanatic believers."

Professor Leonard was deep in thought when there was a noise in the room and Lin Yiyi finally got up.

"Lan Lan, you woke up so early!" Lin Yiyi stretched out of the room, wearing a nightgown, poked her head out of the door, and greeted Professor Leonard:
"Little old Professor Leonard, you're awake!"

"Good morning." Professor Leonard replied listlessly, and returned to his room with a thoughtful look.

"What's wrong with him? Did he suffer from sequelae after being beaten by Ah Feng?" Lin Yiyi asked curiously.

"It should be thinking about the crown." Mu Lan said, and then something suddenly appeared in her perception, she immediately returned to the window sill, opened the curtain and looked outside.

Those townspeople reappeared out of nowhere!

They all came from one direction, there were more than 200 people, much more than what they saw during the day, and they all returned to their homes in silence.

Suppressing the question of where they went last night, Mu Lan thought of something else. She found that all the townspeople were between [-] and [-] years old, and it seemed that the whole town had never seen any old people.

The innkeeper also came back from the south. Before coming to the hotel, he looked up at Mu Lan, as if smiling.

Under the light of the morning light, his deformed and distorted face was clearer than last night, and his protruding eyes seemed to fall to the ground. This smile moved his wrinkle-free cheeks, and it felt like a smile that was not on the skin. Mu Lan felt a little creepy.

The age of the hotel owner is also between thirty and fifty. His smooth and wrinkle-free face makes it difficult to tell the exact age, but in short, he is definitely not an old man.

Where are all the old people in Hezros Town?

Mu Lan thought of the photo of the boss on the hotel counter. He was no different from ordinary people when he was young, but as he got older, his face became more and more strange, and he moved closer to the typical "Hezros town boss". What will they be like when they get old, and where are they all now?

The place where the townspeople came back was the wealthy area in the south, where there were the mansions in the center of the town and the magnificent courtyards, which was in the direction of the bottomless cave.

Mu Lan regretted why she didn't keep an eye on there. She wanted to investigate while resting, but she didn't rest well, and she didn't see the first moment when the townspeople appeared.

Bringing Lin Yiyi who had just changed clothes and Leonard who was carrying a suitcase, Mu Lan couldn't wait to go down the stairs. The hotel owner was there wiping the table. Seeing Mu Lan coming down the stairs and taking a look, she yelled hoarsely. Say hello.

"Good morning, guests."

"Excuse me."

Mu Lan hesitated for a moment but still didn't ask the question where they went. There were many clues to figure out now, it was not the time for a showdown, and then she said: "Excuse me, where does the Leon family live? We have something to visit."

"Leon's house?" The innkeeper stared at Mu Lan with a strange expression, and didn't answer for a long time.

The pair of dead fish-eye-like projections looked at her motionless, and Mu Lan felt a little goosebumps, not fear, but physical discomfort, and she also noticed that the hotel owner's eyes seemed to have never blinked , just opened his eyes exaggeratedly and looked at her all the time.

"Are you public servants?" The innkeeper glanced at Professor Leonard, and then said hoarsely: "Robert Leon may be working in the center of the town during the day, or drumming flowers and plants in his mansion, in short, these two places Always find him."

Through questioning the innkeeper, Mu Lan learned that Robert Leon is the mayor here, and the Leon family is a prominent family in Hezyros Town. Their family made a fortune 50 years ago and took root in Hezyros Town since then. Controlling every aspect of the town, even the hotel owner is somewhat related to the family by marriage. "

There is no record in Robert Lyon's file, and the administrative officer dispatched by Lanster County is not by this name. As Mu Lan walked on the way to the Lyon family's mansion, she thought in her mind, whether it was the truth about Dr. Bourne's disappearance, or... The reason why the townspeople disappeared is all related to the Leon family, and even the various strange phenomena in Hezross Town today may be solved there.

There was no one in the mansion, so they could only come outside the courtyard of Leon's house. Several cute-looking children were playing in the vegetable garden. They were squatting on the ground playing with bugs.

These children looked very normal and even cute. Lin Yiyi called them and asked them to ask an adult to open the door.

Ah Feng suddenly walked out of a small alley, he was still expressionless, Mu Lan was a little curious about what he saw that night.

After waiting for a while, a veiled woman walked out of the building. Mu Lan asked Ah Feng's thoughts patiently, and then looked at the woman.

She walked across the courtyard to the door, glanced at the four people expressionlessly, and said slowly:

"You are the foreigners who came here yesterday, guests, the mayor has been waiting for a long time."
